2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Limited sedan
![]() |
| WRX STI |
Subaru heard the complaints and has made an effort to right its wrongs for 2011 by returning the STI sedan to the lineup and thoroughly reworking the suspension. This leads us to our newest long-termed, a 2011 “WR blue pearl” Impreza WRX STI Limited sedan.
To morph the sedan into an STI, it gained the wide-body panels from the hatch, bigger wheels and tires, STI budging and the signature tall rear wing. Central to the suspension improvements are new pillow-ball bushings attaching the aluminum lower control arms to the front suspension’s sub frame. While the old STI used less expensive rubber bushings with steel sleeves, the new design employs steel bearings to provide twice the stiffness to fore/aft forces and to improve camber and toe stiffness.
In addition, spring rates are increased 15.6 percent up front and 53.0 percent in the rear, ride height drops five millimeters, and the ant roll bars are thicker compared with those on the 2010 STI. The result, according to Subaru, is 33 percent less body roll.
The 2008–10 Subaru WRX STI was something of an enigma, a bit like people who enjoy eating headcheese. Stiffer springs, thicker front and rear anti-roll bars, revised front control-arm bushings, and firmer rear sub frame bushings have been fitted.
Unlike the WRX, the STI features the adjustable SI-Drive system that allows the pilot to tune throttle response, and there are multiple modes for the STI-specific driver-controlled center differential (DCCD). At 3420 pounds, the sedan we tested here was 34 pounds heavier than our long-term 2008 STI hatch. Both STI models get a more aggressive front fascia and a blacked-out grille; the sedan gets a wing that’s big enough to adorn a Formula 1 car.
The STI rides in a suppler, controlled manner than the previous car, despite the stiffer front springs, which also help mitigate under steer at the limit.
The only thing separating them visually is the BBS wheels and the STI sedan’s gigantic wing. We’d stick with the WRX.
This latest version of Subarus venerable Impreza WRX STI features a striking exterior that understates this cars very real performance credentials.
Standard front seat mount, and front and rear curtain airbags offer occupant protection. All STI receive standard heated mirrors, front seats, and windshield wiper de-icier for 2011. The standard audio system now features a single CD, USB port, and audio streaming.

Lamborghini licenses insane limited edition Reventón R C car
Like the vast majority of humanity, we were never able to lay our hands on one of the 20 Lamborghini Reventón models the company built for the fabulously wealthy. We had neither the $1.27 million it took to call the car your very own nor the connections to be one of the few to even have the chance to purchase said Raging Bull. That’s just fine, though, because Lamborghini has partnered up with De Agostini to build a 1:10 scale R/C replica of the car for the masses. Well, maybe not the masses per-se – the company is only building 65 examples, so this ain’t your garden-variety Nikko or Tamiya.
Each one of the cars is crafted with impressive detail and features a 3cc gasoline engine mated to a two-speed transmission, a fully-independent suspension with hydraulic shocks and four-wheel disc brakes – all on an R/C car. Insane? Sure, but it’s our kind of crazy. Unfortunately, with so few of the cars being produced, we’re guessing they won’t be cheap enough for anyone we know to afford. History repeats itself. You can head over to the R/C car’s site for a closer look.

Down force
The Can-Am Edition is based on the earlier revealed and already active MP4-12 GT3. The McLaren Can-Am went one step further. First appearance, there was apparently enough to scrape more down force on the axes to generate. It is made entirely within the official rules and the results are impressive, as 30% down force gives the Can-Am Edition compared to the GT3. On the engine - the ECU - is also tinkering with the result of a total of 639 hp, 139 hp more than the GT3. "Huh, 139 hp?" Yes, the GT3 version has namely one hundred horsepower less than the first copies of the street version. Namely that meets or to the applicable FIA rules.
Lewis Hamilton
also worth mentioning is the vehicle weight of only 1,200 kg. By stripping the interior was much ballast lost. What is left, or in any other form is returned to the sport of course tubs (with 6-point belts) and a minimalist and purely functional center console. Cool racing wheel that is not much different from that of the F1 car Lewis Hamilton.
Can-Am
McLaren asks £ 375,000 for the M4-12C Can-Am who is keen to participate in the American racing series Grand-Am Road Racing, abbreviated Cam-Am. But participation in other (specific) classes is also possible. On track days the car without also doing well, so even if the car is not street legal, there is still plenty of fun to experience.
